I'd be interested in a longer blog post on your observations, particularly the one about rhythm.

Hiring API Developers, Product Managers, Architects Capital One, DC Area Capital One is building out an API Platform and is looking to hire API Developers (mainly Java), as well as…

No, I'm not one of those people. And I agree with basically everything you've said here (except for the part about the possibilities of AI and the limitations of mystery - but we'v…

Can you provide an example of an alternative that would be more efficient? And are you talking about communication over something other than HTTP?

I don't know tluyben, we've been having this conversation now for....24 hours or so. I think 2s is a bit of a low estimate ;) Seriously though, I don't think the Conversation needs…

I guess that if you're religious, then yeah, almost by definition, you would be skeptical of assertions like these. Although to the parent comments point, I'm not defensive at all …

It's totally fair for one to start with that assumption, and stick with it until proven otherwise. But it's just as fair for me to be skeptical of the analogy. Before the concept o…

I'm extremely skeptical of this, even though I spend a good deal of my time trying to automate machine 2 machine communication (which gets me thinking about this a lot). I also thi…

Slightly off-topic - any recommendations on the best javascript/node JSON Schema library?

Yeah, agreed on the car thing. Last year I bought a used '09 Accord V6 fully loaded for $17.5k with great maintenance records and low miles. My other car is an '08 Outback, which I…

I agree. It seems to me that we're dealing something whose potential we don't yet fully understand. It might very well fail, but a declaration by the IRS changes nothing except the…

It won't. We have many decades of evidence that 'back-to-basics' will never be more than a niche movement. The world is very large, and Google, Apple and co, are much more vested i…

Not bad, but you gave me the wrong Facebook profile (I have a common name) and the Twitter one, while one that I manage, was not my main Twitter account.

Look, this isn't the right forum and I'm not the right person to engage in this. Though I appreciate that your are engaging in a civil manner, I don't think you're being honest wit…

You are very clearly being anti-semitic. I don't have the power to downvote, but comments like this should always be repudiated. Putting the word "community" in quotes, talking abo…

The Theory of Evolution does not say this. In fact, the Theory is predicated on the existence of randomness and adaptation. What you're suggesting is that every behavior has a reas…

Based on the comments here, a key point of the article was missed. The quality of movies right now is crappy because it is being entirely driven by the international market, where …

This is not right. You're right in that many cases a woman can choose to not have the child with or without consent of the father, but she is then faced with the real consequences …

Sorry, but that statement about Greenwald is basically true. People are multi-faceted, and Greenwald is by no means perfect. IMHO, he says a lot of extremely stupid, barely defensi…

Much of the conversation here centers around the value of reporting to Facebook vs. selling to black hat. This is the wrong paradigm to view this issue through. Taking the view tha…

You MUST mean increasingly ;)

Agreed. It strikes me as correct that if I rent/own an apartment in NYC, I should not have to deal with my neighbor's AirBnB business. There is room for compromise, but I would ten…

Yes. It would mean that even if it was not an all cash deal. Yahoo! bought 100% of Tumblr and owns them outright.

In today's economy, gold is rarely used for its intrinsic value. Most of the gold in the world today is used simply as a store of value. The value of gold on the market today is no…
